We finished packing today, loaded up the van and left Salt Lake around 4:00 today. We’ve been really worried about taking Nigel on a long road trip since he howls when he’s in the car when it’s dark. We packed lots of baby supplies; toys, treats, and a few secret weapons to distract the baby and hoped for the best. We tried to leave Salt Lake earlier so we could make to Rawlins before night so we didn’t have to travel in the dark. Unfortunately, we had to go back to house twice because we kept forgetting stuff we had to take (like the concert tickets).
Impressions of Wyoming: snow fences, wind farms, firework stores, wide open land, and small towns, which were few and far between.
We didn’t get to our hotel before dark, but Miles did a great job of distracting Nigel with the iPad and the Mickey Mouse light spinner so we had a minimum amount of tears. We had a small travel day with only 4 hours on road.
We checked into our hotel and found that our room had a large screen TV, two nice leather couches but no beds! After trying in vain to open the adjoining rooms, the the staff got us to the right room and we relaxed, got ready for bed and for our long travel day in the morning.
We were very happy to have found the website http://sixsuitcasetravel.com before our trip. It listed all the hotels that have rooms that sleep more than 4, so we could all stay in the same room.
